Good job with the coaching hires for you guys, I was hoping for this for the cowboys at HC and OC but we're not smart enough to make the obvious move. If Norv joins him, I really hope it works out for you all and you win a bowl or two.

I am so excited about this team right now, what a complete and total 180 from two months ago.

Don't get too overly optimistic. I think Zimmer/ Turner will do great for our Defense/ Offense. Turner has shown that he can make great QB's out of scrubs such as Jason Campbell/ Hoyer/ Weeden last year. I give the team one more good year/ draft and we will be contenders again.

I was too optimistic last year after the draft and at the beginning of the season, only to be extremely disappointed.

I kinda thought we were due for a down turn for the 2013 season. Too much went right in 2012 and I thought we still had holes. Offense I feel is much closer to being very good than D. Help is needed at all three levels for the defense. But, as others have said, I'm optimistic Zimmer can be the one to get it done.

Earlier this week, we discussed the decision that Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel has to make this week regarding his contract.

Cassel has until Friday to opt out of the final year of the two-year deal he signed with the Vikings before last season, the first half of a mutual option on the deal that also gives the Vikings the right to pay $500,000 to Cassel to void the final year in the event he lets Friday pass without taking any action. According to a report from Darren Wolfson of KTSP and 1500 ESPN, they won’t have a decision to make.

Wolfson reports that Cassel will void the final year of the deal, which comes with a $3.7 million salary, and become a free agent. Doing so suggests Cassel and his agent believe they can land either more money or a better chance to start on the open market. The Vikings are expected to be actively looking for a quarterback this offseason, something that could leave another quarterback with a chance to open the season in the lineup if they draft a quarterback who isn’t ready to go in Week One.

If Cassel is opting out, Christian Ponder will be the only quarterback on the roster when free agency starts in March. That would only add more urgency to their search for help at the position, although Cassel could still wind up back in Minnesota even after opting out.

The bold part made me throw up in my mouth a little bit....
